I heard they take some time to break in. True?

I think they all need a few hundred rounds thru them to make sure they're feeding properly and not failing to fire or extract. This one has been pretty good with factory ammo and hot reloads, it does get picky with lighter loads and bullets, I run into extract issues, but it does have a pretty stout slide spring.

No problems that can't be fixed with hotter loads or lighter springs... I prefer the hotter loads

Is it Ultra Carry II ?

I'll take mine out in a bit and shoot a 50ft target from pillows with stout loads and post the target. Yours will do as well or better. VERY accurate short barrel pistols!

Showstopper, you will love that Kimber!

14 rounds of 230gr loaded hot and 14 rds of 230gr loaded light. The hot loads chambered fine, the light loads failed to feed quite a bit. Likely some of the issue is firing the same brass in two different makes/models of pistol. The R.I. chamber may be a hair larger, changing the o.d. of the brass. I'm going to pull out the calipers and check that later.

The pistol, (or I) shoots right just a hair. The heavy loads were aimed center dot, the light aimed 3" left of dot.

They make a fine pistol, the only thing I don't care for is having to use a pin for slide removal... not a biggie tho.

and i like the acog style but will it co-witness? if you open your iron sites do the three (front back and dot) line up? since i have the standard front AR site i am worried that this guy is too low.

Hopefully this answers your question. Sorry it took me a while to do this but I forgot the other day and I remembered when I went shooting today. It does look like it will cowitness with the stock site/gas block. Sorry for the several posts but I can only post one picture or video at a time.

The video will not attach sorry. The video showed how it cowitnesses with the flip up sights and the stock sight sits about the same level so it should work great.

50ft both eyes open. Rapid fire or as close as i could get to it without getting in trouble lol 9mm and .45. Ya I pulled a few when I was aiming for the head. This target is a lot smaller than your regular silhouette target.

75ft .223 AR-15 from the shoulder. 70 rounds.

Depending on the ACOG's magnification power, it can blur out your front sight to the point you won't even see it, let alone co witness with it.

True but mine has no magnification. So no worries with that on this sight.

Which model do you have? The lowest I am aware of has 1.5x magnification.

This archived thread explains it best why you cannot cowitness an ACOG

Another thread referencing it cannot be done but with no explanation.

Thanks for the link. I always like reading up on stuff. Technically mine is not really an ACOG it just looks like it. For the price and quality of it I love it.
